ISLAMABAD, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — At least six people were killed and 19 others wounded in a suicide attack on a militant headquarters in southwestern Pakistan's Balochistan province on Tuesday, rescue and security officials said.
The attack took place in Quetta, the provincial capital, when terrorists rammed a car packed with explosives into the main gate of the Frontier Corps headquarters, security sources told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
They added that the attackers' accomplices managed to enter the area after the explosion, and a shootout was currently underway.
Muhammad Zeeshan, operations manager of the Quetta-based NGO Edhi Foundation, told Xinhua that a bus and a rickshaw were passing the site when the blast occurred, and most of the injured were passengers in those vehicles.
The injured were taken to the Civil Hospital in Quetta, with several remaining in critical condition, he added.
So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. –0–
